Anne Coulter

Im offended by neither. The latter shows no deliberate malice. The former clearly does. If you feel strongly about ST's comments, im sure you would get much greater support, more own included, if you discredited them with good argument.
.

What if one's opinion is, "ST, you're a moron"?

I would assume one could recognise the difference between offering genuine opinion as part of a discussion and offering a direct personal insult with the sole intention of offending that subject. Calling someone a moron is an insult, whether you believe them to be a moron or not. In the interests of this forum, I dont see what that brings to a discussion.

If we allow people to preach hatred and violence then we are betraying the people being attacked.
Words turn to actions far too easily for me to accept bigoted views.

I personally find that offends my sensibilities and belief in free speech. I dont intend to shut you down. Id rather hatred and violence was discredited in an open, free domain then suppressed underground to seed its evil on the back of martyrdom. Which, in a very subtle way, has happened in this case.

Yet you neg rep when I expressed an opinion that you had no clue about the situation saying 'repeated personal remarks'....

I neg repped you a considerable time ago for repeated insults towards another member. Ill happy to do the same again.

I think that political freedoms are important, but human/civil rights trump them by a long shot.

Youre right.

Waiting for answer as to how you consider 'The utter nonsense is the fact that you have no clue why the conflict took place in the first place but read newsflash stories.' or 'You are a moron' which was directed against a well know racists, more offensive than insults on the general muslim population.

I didnt say they were more or less offensive.

Straight Talker, his/her posts are neither personal or malicious. Ive had to report several counts of insults, yours included, that in my opinion are far more of a threat to this forum and good debate

......

Indeed.

Thanks for porving my point..
